The issue I have with Obama (and there are several, but this is the main one) can be summed up with a quote from Pres. Ford way back when : A government that is big enough to give you everything you need is also big enough to take it away. And for you Brits, I will quote Thatcher: The problem with socialism is you eventually run out of money.

It was "The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people's money." Don't know very many Brits who'd want Thatcher quoted at them.

The problem with American elections is an American always wins.

I'm sure they wouldn't, but she's right. And really, this election process seems like it has gone on for about 5 yrs. I'm ready to get it over with.

Obama is not a socialist. Ask any socialist.

I'm not calling him a socialist, I am agreeing with the quotes I posted.

Well at least you're consistent, even if you are consistently wrong.

And you posted them apropos of what? If they weren't germane to a point you're making, why post them.
Don't hurt yourself on the back-pedal there girlie!

I feel that Obama has socialist tendencies and is anti capitalism, but I'm not ready to call him a full blown socialist.
